Sad news, another legend from my youth gone.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52065738
Funny, I always remembered him playing for Everton and Wrexham and never the Jacks. I must have blocked that period out of my memory for some reason! :biggrin:
Condolences to his family. I don't know too much about him as a player but understand he was big figure in Welsh football.
Had the pleasure of his company for an afternoon (plus others), in Hungary. Great stories told that day, whilst the ale flowed
RIP.
RIP Dai Teflon
There was an announcement last year about his terminal cancer wasn't there. A better keeper than his "Dai the drop" nickname suggested, but I wouldn't put him in with the top echelon of Welsh goalkeepers.
RIP
That is sad news.
Wales keeper in the days of us generally struggling but played for some decent clubs (post-Swansea obvs :biggrin:)
Always looked very old and I felt a bit sorry for him as the photos of him were usually when in action without his dentures.
Decent looking guy in the one pic.
RIP Dai
That's how I always think of himQuote:

He did get around to that to be fair.
Phil Dwyer said that of all the goalkeepers he played in front of, Dai Davies was the one you got out of the way of if he shouted "Mine."Quote:

He helped me hugely on one matter and was always generous with his time.
Over the years I lost contact with him and was unaware he was ill.
Thank you Dai for everything RIP.
Rest in peace Dracula
Great bloke 👏
Me too! I was also surprised he played so few games for Everton. RIP.Quote:
